Background . Uterine fibroids are common benign tumors in women. Clinical manifestations well known. Acute complications necessitating emergent surgical intervention rare. Case We report a case of 53-year-old woman with history uterine presenting acute-onset severe abdominal pain. Imaging indicated massive free fluid and large partially solid mass. Vitals were consistent hypovolemic shock. Examination revealed abdomen. She underwent an laparotomy total hysterectomy. Surgery 4.5 L...

Over 90% of people living in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) do not have access to surgical care. In the absence appropriate care, there is high morbidity mortality from surgically curable diseases, such as cervical cancer. Laparoscopic surgery for gynecologic cancer LMICs extremely limited. The benefits laparoscopy over open are even more pronounced than resource-rich countries. Barriers implementation laparoscopic should be identified addressed order improve global care lives...

Phantom and residual limb pain are commonly experienced by the majority of amputees, often difficult to treat not adequately relieved with medical treatment alone. While extensively studied, pathophysiology refractory is still unclear, many proposed mechanisms under investigation (Wilkes et al., 2008). Limited existing literature suggests percutaneous interventions including radiofrequency ablation (RFA) may be promising modalities for patients who have oral agents (Sperry 2023). We present...

Epithelial ovarian cancer has the highest fatality rate of all gynecologic malignancies. Although majority patients achieve complete clinical response after initial cytoreductive surgery and platinum-based chemotherapy, most recur almost will eventually acquire platinum-resistance for which treatment options become limited. The objective study was to describe tolerability metronomic chemotherapy regimen GFIP/BDC, a modification G-FLIP regimen, in with persistent or recurrent epithelial...

Abstract Uterine adenosarcomas (AS) are rare uterine tumors with benign epithelium and a sarcomatous component which is typically low-grade. Those displaying overgrowth (AS+SO) behave in more aggressive fashion associated worse clinical outcomes. Immunohistochemistry performed on AS AS+SO have shown greater preponderance for estrogen receptor alpha (ERα) progesterone (PR) positivity those low-grade component. Further studies showed an increased proliferative index (Ki-67) confirmed loss of...
